A burn ban in northwestern Lenawee County was recently lifted after dry conditions were alleviated by recent rainfall.

Addison Fire Chief Tim Shaw on July 14 issued a burn ban effective for Woodstock and Rollin townships, as well as Addison and neighboring Wheatland Township in Hillsdale County. On Wednesday, Shaw said the recent rains allowed that ban to be lifted.

Burn permits were being issued on a day-to-day basis, according to the fire department’s Facebook page during the ban.

According to the National Weather Service, parts of Lenawee County, including the Lenawee County Airport, received more than 2 inches of rainfall overnight.
